SOME YORKSHIRE SHORTHORNS. 273 



pig for a hundred," was the response of the gener- 

 ous and warm-hearted victor. 



The purchase of " Lord Zetland " was always a 

 favourite topic with Mr. Outhwaite. Lord Zet- 

 land had used "Royal Windsor," as had many 

 Shorthorn breeders in the neighbourhood, and 

 had some good calves by him ; and Mr. Moscrop 

 who used then to reside at Olliver and manage 

 the Shorthorns, frequently teased Mr. Outhwaite 

 about the moderate Royal Windsor calves. At 

 the same time Lord Zetland had purchased a 

 bull from Lord Dunmore of which they thought 

 a great deal, and Mr. Outhwaite was invited to 

 see the herd. He did not very much favour Lord 

 Dunmore's bull, but said nothing ; whilst Mr, 

 Moscrop told him that he thought Royal Wind- 

 sor a good bull, but that his stock Avere only 

 moderate, and showed him the roan calf, then 

 only a few days old. Mr. Outhwaite looked at 

 him a minute or two and then said, " You're 

 right, Mr. Moscrop, he is an offally little beggar, 

 what'll you take for him 1 " " Twenty-five pounds," 

 was the reply. *' Well, Lord Zetland's a very 

 good payer, an' always pays me on t' nail, so if 

 you'll give me a pen an' ink, ah'll pay you for 

 him now, and send Franky for him with a cart 

 as soon as ah get home." This is how " Lord 

 Zetland" was bought, and a famous bull he grew 

 to be, winning prizes all over the country and 

 adding greatly to the prestige of the Bainesse herd.
